Review: 2014 Honda Civic Si Sedan

By Corey Herscu

There is so much nostalgic value attached to driving this car, it's almost too hard to put together specific thoughts in this review. Why? Because there is only so much good I can say, without coming across as hard core biased. Alas, a review is a review, so without delving too much down memory lane (see last Honda Civic review here), I am going to dive into the good/bad of the 2014 Honda Civic Sedan Si.
